Ilya Lipnitskiy e720e7d0e9 mm: fix race by making init_zero_pfn() early_initcall
There are code paths that rely on zero_pfn to be fully initialized
before core_initcall.  For example, wq_sysfs_init() is a core_initcall
function that eventually results in a call to kernel_execve, which
causes a page fault with a subsequent mmput.  If zero_pfn is not
initialized by then it may not get cleaned up properly and result in an
error:

  BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:(ptrval) type:MM_ANONPAGES val:1

Here is an analysis of the race as seen on a MIPS device. On this
particular MT7621 device (Ubiquiti ER-X), zero_pfn is PFN 0 until
initialized, at which point it becomes PFN 5120:

  1. wq_sysfs_init calls into kobject_uevent_env at core_initcall:
       kobject_uevent_env+0x7e4/0x7ec
       kset_register+0x68/0x88
       bus_register+0xdc/0x34c
       subsys_virtual_register+0x34/0x78
       wq_sysfs_init+0x1c/0x4c
       do_one_initcall+0x50/0x1a8
       kernel_init_freeable+0x230/0x2c8
       kernel_init+0x10/0x100
       ret_from_kernel_thread+0x14/0x1c

  2. kobject_uevent_env() calls call_usermodehelper_exec() which executes
     kernel_execve asynchronously.

  3. Memory allocations in kernel_execve cause a page fault, bumping the
     MM reference counter:
       add_mm_counter_fast+0xb4/0xc0
       handle_mm_fault+0x6e4/0xea0
       __get_user_pages.part.78+0x190/0x37c
       __get_user_pages_remote+0x128/0x360
       get_arg_page+0x34/0xa0
       copy_string_kernel+0x194/0x2a4
       kernel_execve+0x11c/0x298
       call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0x114/0x194

  4. In case zero_pfn has not been initialized yet, zap_pte_range does
     not decrement the MM_ANONPAGES RSS counter and the BUG message is
     triggered shortly afterwards when __mmdrop checks the ref counters:
       __mmdrop+0x98/0x1d0
       free_bprm+0x44/0x118
       kernel_execve+0x160/0x1d8
       call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0x114/0x194
       ret_from_kernel_thread+0x14/0x1c

To avoid races such as described above, initialize init_zero_pfn at
early_initcall level.  Depending on the architecture, ZERO_PAGE is
either constant or gets initialized even earlier, at paging_init, so
there is no issue with initializing zero_pfn earlier.
